Sunni vs Shiite - why?

[Tre]

Watching some weird shit on National Geographic this morning about some religious wackos in the Muslim world. 

These Sharia courts are out of fucking control.  I know our 'justice system' in the U.S. is bullshit for the most part, but damn, these Sharia bitches are even worse! 

If a guy is supposed to be a virgin before he marries, how the fuck could he know he was infertile??  The grand ayatollah, however, argues that this guy was deceptive and therefore the wife should be able to annul the marriage.  I have no problem with the girl getting a divorce, but it's crap to say that the guy was deliberately deceptive. 

Fucking Muslims.  You idiots and Christians deserve one another.

Leave me the Buddhists and the Jews.

These guys don't have sectarian nonsense going on!? Fark religion. Period.

Religion = farcical joke which doesn't belong in the 21st century.

[MORTALCOIL]

I was born a muslim but I can't handle them. The same for christians, at least catholics, biggotry is strong with them also. There's a very thin line between faith and stupidity.

Yo Tre? You have a HP computer? Computers keeping a brother down.   

[El Diablo Blanco]

The Jews!  Oh yeah, they're peaceful people    Some of the worst kind in the world.

[Mars]

yeah these religious jews are fucking idiots as well.

[Ex Coelis]

that court ruling sounds reasonable enough (not that it really has anything to do Sunni v Shiite, unless that was the case name . . .)

seems like you're reaching for something to slam, Tre

[garebear]

Shiites like to torture Sunnis to death.

Sunnis like to blow themselves up and take as many men, women and children with them as possible.

These are the subtle fractions in the religion of peace.

[Stark]

Catholics vs Lutheran in northern Ireland .. why?

It religion which mostly blinds people.

Religous problems can be solved easily; just do the following

[dov]

In Sharia courts, womens' testimony is 1/2 that of a man's. Men are allowed up to 4 wives. For a man to be convicted of rape, 6 other eye-witness men have to testify against him.LOL...This culture is 1000's of years behind.

who determines forward?

One's conscience should apply. Even wild animals inherently know the diff btwn basic right and wrong. This culture chooses to live centuries in the past. It's causing a lot of troubles all over the world. Have'nt you noticed?

[jtsunami]

yeah these religious jews are fucking idiots as well.

Not only do you have to be Muslim in order to avoid having your head cut off but you also have to be a certain type of Muslim. Hilarious.

Then again, these are the same people who think that a group of "hetero" men gang raping a homosexual man is adequate punishment for being homosexual.

Hmm I see, so let me get this straight, only Muslims believe in backwards things? So the Christian Idea of Jesus coming down and lifting the true believers to heaven in a rapture and then waging a 7 year war against Satan's son is a very progressive idea 

Or did you forget that the Mormans believe in some pretty backwards things as well.

Point is all religion is fucked.

[Ex Coelis]

there is nothing wrong with religion, only the people who claim to follow them yet ignore any teachings that conflict with their lifestyles

HAHA!
Now, where did you get this from ?

[George Whorewell]

Tre- with all do respect, how can you catagorize these animals with Christians?

I know that it's en vouge to not single out certain religions for their misdeeds, and it's easy to make blanket statements, but nothing on planet earth today comes remotely close to the mindless savagery of the so called muslim "religion".

I have never heard of a Christian suicide bomber in my lifetime. Christians do not abide by honor killings. Christians do not engage in female circumsiscion. Christians do not openly call for the extermination of other religions. Christians do not kidnap people and cut their heads off. And so forth and so on.

Also, do you find it a coincidence that every single religion on earth without exception cannot live peacefully with muslims and that every reigion on earth with a sizable muslim population is at "war" with Islam? India, Russia, Israel, America, Europe, Spain, England, the whole African continent, China and on and on has a constant threat of muslim terrorism. Last I checked, governments across the globe don't raise the terror threat level when the Pope issues a statement from the Vatican.

Now, please do not take the bait and begin your next statement with some obtuse comparison of Christianity to the Nazi's ( Utter and complete nonsense for anyone that isn't lazy or brain dead, pick up a book, do a google search or watch the history channel), or some ill concieved reference to bad things Christians did centuries ago ( it's 2009).

Also, why do jews get a pass in your book? Christians and jews are inevitably locked together as mortal enemies of the "religion" of peace.

Relax and Get Buff?

Ever wonder about what meditation is all about? Ever wonder what it can do for you but didn’t know who to ask? Me too.

After posting a blog entry regarding my personal forays into meditation, I was stunned to instantly receive over 30 private messages. It seems that many T-Nation readers are as interested in this stuff as I am. But I'm no expert. Unlike my usual position of authority when I write on sports nutrition topics, I'm going to preface this article by saying that I'm a meditative intermediate at best.

So, rather than act like a psychologist or Buddhist monk, I’m going to focus on the areas of behavior modification in which I'm actually trained (nutrition and fitness) while simply offering a number of personal observations that you might find helpful. "Helpful in what way?" you may ask. Good question.

You should first decide why you're even looking into meditation, because it takes time and practice. Aside from the pursuit of an abstract goal like "enlightenment," there appear to be real benefits to be had, especially for Type A driven individuals, worriers, sleep-deprived persons, evening overeaters, and even hyped-up guys who frequently go off in the gym. (At times I'm all of the above!) Here are some potential rewards of daily practice:

1. Lowered risk of overtraining (

2. Reduced stress hormone concentrations like cortisol and aldosterone (5, 7, 12, 15, 16, 22)

3. Higher DHEA-Sulfate as well as increased Testosterone and growth hormone response to stress (3, 12, 22)

4. Improved kidney function, lower sodium-potassium ratio and reduced urinary loss of calcium and zinc (22)

5. Remarkable success getting off drugs, even after being dependent (13)

6. Enhanced immune function (7, 16)

7. A shift toward fat oxidation ("fat burning") (6, 9)

8. Improved focus and sports performance (11)

9. Enhanced reaction time (19)

10. Improved carbohydrate metabolism (data is mixed, however) (1)

11. Reduced evening-time overeating (15) and better chance for long term weight loss (4)

12. Slowed biological aging (according to biomarkers) up to 5-12 years (21)

13. Improved antioxidant effects indicated by 15% lower lipid peroxides (18)

14. Ability to levitate and snatch flies with chopsticks
